mermaids
Sometimes it seems that some things are just unobtainable, or maybe don't exist at all. Still it's the stuff that dreams are made of. This dream originated on Bribie Island in Queensland - there were girls there....
Down by the rocks
Down along the sand
Reckless dreams are dancin’ in the waves
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout things
Still don’t understand
Thinkin’ things that only young men crave
Watch the young girls go
Long wind blown hair
Skin shining gold, in the sun
Yeah watch ‘em go
With no thought or care
Leaves fallin’ one, by one
(ch) Take me down where the Mermaids go
Shades of blue down in the reeds
Secret caves where Neptune dreams with his Sirens all around.
Take me down where the Mermaids go
Where virtue counts for somethin’ still
Leave it all but you won’t until all your fears are scuttled & drowned
Diamonds on the water
Fix me in a trance
Fortune teller whispers somethin’ low
Might be illusion
Maybe another chance
Might be somethin’ I already know.
Sometimes it’s a bottle
Sometimes it’s a pill
Sometimes you can steal it with a kiss
Might be salvation
Maybe just a thrill
Might be somethin’ you’re tryin’ to dismiss
(ch) Take me down where the Mermaids go
Shades of blue down in the reeds
Secret caves where Neptune dreams with his Sirens all around.
Take me down where the Mermaids go
Where virtue counts for somethin’ still
Leave it all but you won’t until all your fears are scuttled & drowned
